| It was the grown up version of being a kid in a candy store!
Look at all these bangles!!
And tea cup necklaces!
James and I met up with Thomas and Sakie who are bloggers from Japan who were on their way to Singapore. We started the night wondering what we would all have in common but it turned out that we have very similar tastes XD
Also it was an excuse to finally try Max Brenner chocolate which I’ve been wanting to for ages. It was pretty good but definitely not the best I’ve had here.
I didn’t get any photos of Thomas or Sakie ;_; If you guys read this remember to email me the ones you got!!
I’ve been thinking what to do for my birthday this year, I don’t actually normally celebrate it but for some reason I’m feeling extra festive this year so I might actually do something! Let me know if you guys have any suggestions of things I might like to do ^_^
I thought this cake was really pretty!
I’ve been obsessed with spotting gargoyles on top of the old buildings here, there are so many of them hidden up on the roof tops!
I’ve also been making a point to go down alley ways we don’t usually go through to try and find new cute things. Melbourne is one of those places that has so many little alleys and streets that even if I spent my whole life looking through them all I probably wouldn’t find half of the cute places XD
There have been a lot of protests in the city too recently. There are always protests going on in town but I think there have been more than usual because the Federal budget came out last week :S
I saw these adorable fingerless gloves/mittens the other day and I want to make some! I clearly don’t have enough panda themed clothing and I love the idea of fingerless gloves that turn into mittens.
I also spotted these super cute bunny and bear scissors in Tokuya, so sweet!
Celeste came back to visit for a little while and took us to the cutest little bubble tea place on Bourke Street. Can’t remember the name but they had these chairs suspended from the roof and the whole place was decorated with flowers. They had an area where you could rent little cubicles by the month and sell things too, I’m considering making some stuff and giving it a try ^_^
The tea was nice but the food was kind of not great.
James was too busy playing on his phone to pose or eat so I took matters into my own hands haha!
I had tea with my Mother at one of the cafes that opened in Myer since it had it’s refurbishment and they had the cutest tea set…
And lastly here is a cute take on a ladies room sign I spotted in one of the city McDonalds, very posh haha!
That’s all for now! What have you guys been up to?? |
Hi Violet!
I love these posts so i hope you keep them here on your blog!
I love finding things down little alleyways that you didn’t know were there! some of the best places are found by word of mouth or exploration.
I think i would die if i got to go that that warehouse! it looks amazing!
Also I’m not sure if that’s your real hair but brown looks super cute on you!
Also whens your birthday!! You have to do something for it!
Hey Jen! Everyone seems to have voted so I will keep them on the main blog :D Nope the brown hair is just a wig, thanks so much! My birthday is on the 28th, so this Saturday :D
I rarely ever check the cuties section so here it is! xD That’s a lot of accessories and what cute scissors (if only I had scissors like those haha). Finally! A woman’s washroom sign that isn’t in the shape of a typical circle, triangle, and legs.
Everyone seems to agree so I’ll keep them here :D
Must say I rather like the Snapshots posts you do here!
At Max Brenner, their best option is the Sukkao. I had one of their frappe things and it wasn’t great, but I keep going back for the DIY hot chocolates!
I haven’t tried the Sukkao, I’ll have to look out for it if we go back! Don’t worry Snapshots will stay here :D
Oh my god Max Brenner… i’m sooo hungry now for waffles and fondue! You know I am actually allergic to chocolate? Too much and I get a migraine, it is the suckiest damn allergy anyone could have :(.
Also I do read these posts even though I don’t always comment on snapshot posts because i’m not sure what to say. I do enjoy them though, so I don’t mind if you keep them on your blog :).
That is the most horrible allergy I’ve ever heard of *_* Haha you don’t have to comment, I <3 you anyway :P I do the same with some of yours, I never know what to say ahaha! Snapshots is staying here!
You should leave your snap shots on your main blog. I enjoy them. They go along with your other stuff, I think :D I recently took my bf to a bubble tea place while we were visiting Seattle, WA. He had never tried it before. I don’t think he cared for it however.
I will leave them here :D My boyfriend hated bubble tea at first too but he pretended to like it for me and then it grew on him hahaha!
OMG Violet I have been looking everywhere for that bubble tea place. Do you know the address of it? I visited it when I first came to Melbourne and couldn’t find it since lol. They have the most tasty snacks and those chairs are so damn cute!
It’s on Bourke St, just further up the hill after Target, here it is: http://www.thatsmelbourne.com.au/DiningandNightlife/Cafes/InternetCafes/Pages/4078.aspx
I vote for leaving the Snapshots on the main blog. :)
Motion carried!
It’s so much fun to see the city through your eyes. I always look forward to your snapshots posts because they’re full of fun and of interesting ideas for future expeditions.
:D I always worry they are boring for readers who already live here so thank you!!
Your snapshots are always so cute and well-done. Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks so much Rachel!
Hi Violet – My vote is for you to keep posting snapshots posts on the big blog here! They are totally fun to look at. I like that cuties has kind of candid quick photos of your works in progress and stuff.
:D Thank you, that is 100% what I originally intended for cuties so I’m so glad it’s coming across! <3
